They provided an accurate and fair, competitive quote and honored a repeat customer discount. The foreman and the other employees were extremely fast yet careful.
Negative Grizzly Moving Reviews
Gina Irving, Google
The timing was still way off, which meant the cost ended up much higher than quoted too. I also asked upfront if there was an extra cost for packing and they said no.
Viennelyn Maier, Google
After our move, we discovered that our Peloton Tread was damaged, with no mention of it from the movers. There were heavily dented scratches on the arms, damaged screw holes that could no longer secure properly, and several missing screws.

Their movers caused this damage to our home and yard. I specifically told them not to use the gravel driveway. They used it anyway, causing extensive damage to the driveway.
